INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 332-579]


Lobsters: Effects of the Canada-EU Trade Agreement on the U.S. 
Industry Termination of Investigation

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of termination of investigation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to a letter from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) 
received on December 23, 2020, withdrawing his request of July 29, 2020 
that the Commission conduct an investigation and prepare a report that 
details any negative effects of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade 
Agreement between Canada and the European Union on the United States 
lobster industry, the Commission has terminated Investigation No. 332-
579: Lobsters: Effects of the Canada-EU Trade Agreement on the U.S. 
Industry, and will not release a report.
    The USTR requested the investigation and report under authority 
delegated by the President and pursuant to section 332(g) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930. In his letter withdrawing the request, the USTR stated 
that the European Union's recent removal of tariffs on imported 
lobsters eliminated the need for a report analyzing any disadvantages 
to the U.S. lobster industry caused by the prior agreement between 
Canada and the European Union.

DATES: 
    July 29, 2020: Receipt of request for the investigation.
    October 1, 2020: Public hearing.
    December 23, 2020: Receipt of request to terminate the 
investigation.
    [Publication in Federal Register]: Termination of investigation.
